The crisp, clear air of these mornings fills tho blood with life and the soul with energy. From the Columbia river for the sea son of '84 to date have been shipped T08,70j cases of salmon. Some fine halibut from Tillamook rockvas among tho cargo of the Shu brick, which arrived in last evening. Chinese fishermen are selling salmon for four cents apiece ia Seattle. "We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor." The net earnings of tho Oregon Rail way and Navigation company for the year ending June 30, wore 2,482.074. The Cyprus came down yesterday af ternoon. The U'erra, Varunu, Ryecalc, Cochrina, Co. of Marloneth and Falslajf are all over due. A falling lantern on the sidewalk on Squomoqua street at S o'clock last even ing occasioned a lire alarm, which was responded to. From Portland comes the news that Bon Holladay and his brother Joseph aro smoking the pipe of peace, having set tled all their difficulties. At Pilger's branch store has been re ceived a new lot of Jersey ulsters, plain and braided jackets, cloaks, etc., and other novelties in ladies wear. See adv. Capt. Reynolds, of tho AVuia, which arrived in recently, is a brother of Capt. A. W. Reynolds, of the Highland Light which laid at this port seventeen months. "Work on tho street railway will begin on Cedar street next week. 1'ierre Brons don, who will have charge of the con struction, is expected this week from Portland, where he has been ill. It is reported that Capt. Ilarkins has disposed of his interest in the steamer Coos Bay and that ho has accepted a sit uation as coast surveyor for the board of underwriters of San Francisco, a a sal ary of $250 per month. It is mentioned in Tacoma as a re markable fact that no patent for timber lands has been issued to claimants in this territory nor in California, Oregon and Nevada for tho past eighteen months. Alleged frauds have retarded all this business. Returning Astoriaus who have been visiting different parts of tho state aro unanimous on two propesitions: First, that "you never saw such a jear for fruit and vegetables. Everyone up there has more than ho knows what to do with." Secend: "This is tho best and liveliest place in the state." Tho Tacoma Ledger learns that tho rumor that the San Pedro and her sister ship, tho San Pablo, had been sold to the Chinese government has foundation in truth. Tho price paid for tho two ships was $l,530,0:K). The San Pedro sailed fro.ii t o e on Saturday morning, on the return of her last trip to tho Sound. At a meeting of tho Astoria Ladies' Coffee club yesterday afternoon, it was decided that in addition to the social on Friday evening next that tho club would have a ball. The best of music will be in at tendance, tho floor of Liberty hall is a spacious one, the dancing will begin at nine p. m., and everyone that attends will be assured of a pleasant time. M. L. Joslyn. acting secretary of the interior, has made a decision of consid erable interest to tho people of The Dalles, as it involves the title to a considerable part of that townsite. The report con nrms VicTrovitt's claim, which has been before the courts for years, and is at last decided in favor of the claimant, who lies buried on Memaloose island. From the Orcgonian it is learned that tho Oregon will soon go into dock at San Francisco to receive new donkey boilers. By the time she comes out, or about Christmas, the Slate of California will lay off for new boilers. It is not known what steamer will tako this route and it is doubtful if the managers of the com pany have 3'ct given tho matter much thought. Will Unlld a Stronger Vessel. John Eson, of the Deep Sea fishing fishing company, has returned from the Sound. His last trip turned out unprofit able. Ho reports having made a splen did nam ot nsli alter being out only two days, and was returning. But on Hear ing the Columbia river liar the wind be gan to blow a gale, so that they could not cross, and they had to put "to sea again, and tho weather continuing rough so long tho fish were spoiled and had to be thrown overboard. They ran short of 5 revisions and put into Puget sound, 'ho Lottie will be left at Port Townsend, while the fishing tackle, nets, etc., will be shipped via Tacoma to Astoria. She is entirely too light for rough weather. The company will build a staunch vessel of about ninety tons burden, and expect to make a success of their enterprise. Orcgonian. Important Mccliug I. O.

TlIE HALIBUT. The common halibut of the Atlantic, "Hippoglossus vulgaris," is an Arctio species, which extends along tho coasts of Europe and eastern North America, and is identical with tho halibut of Northwest America. This valuable food fish is taken in great quantities along tho wholG Alaskan coast and shores of Critish Columbia, to Capo Flattery, Washington territory. Further south it decreases in number till, at tho Farral- lono islands, off San Francisco, only an occasional ono is taken. The principal fishing of Washington territory for halibut is on the banks off tho entrance to the Straits of Fuca,where considerable numbers are taken annual ly by Makah Indians off Cape Flattery, and constitute an important article of food for the whole of that tribe. The bank usually resorted by these Indians, lies in a direction W. N. W. from Cape Flattery light, distant from 15 to 20 miles, in lat. 1S 30 N., long. 125 W. At this position a depth of water is found of 15 or 20 fathoms, with rocky or gravelly bottom. The banks extend in a north west direction along tho shores of Van couver Island toward Barclay Sound, the best fishing being on the northern side of latitude 48s 39. The southern edge of tho bank is rather steep, falling from SHI to IM fathoms and then no bot tom is found with an ordinary line. Tho deep channel of over 100 fathoms which runs turougu mo strait at us entrance from the ocean, is deflected to tho south ward, probably by the superior strength of tho ebb tide and a southerly set of the off shore current. A zone of deep water of about threo miles in width and 140 to 150 fathoms deep, extends in that direc tion to the 48th parallel. Between it and tho shore, a distanco of about tight miles, the" depth decreases from SO fathoms fine dark sand, to (57 and 39 fathoms in shore Halibut are taken wherever there aro convenient soundings, but they abound on the bank about the center of the en trance to the strait just where the 125th degree of loncitude and the parallel of 48' 30 intersect each other, and from that poiul all along the west coast of Vancouver Island. Tho best fishing ground for vessels is in the vicinity ot Cape Scott on tho northwest end of Vancouver Island and along the north shore, particularly Nawhitti bar in Golelas channel, which is a most prolific eround for halibut. But as that locality is in British Colum-I bia it is not my purpose to describe it as connected with tho fishe.ies of Puget Sound, but to show our fishermen that to them it is a forbidden ground. Several years ago an attempt was made to pro cure halibut off Cape Flattery for the San Francisco market, but without suc cess. The vessels obtained plenty of fish, but as they had no ice, their halibut were not of much value in the San Fran cisco market. In 1871) tho schooner Emily Stevens, of Astoria, was fitted out for halibut fish ing, procured ice in Knight's inlet, and caught a fine cargo of halibut, which were taken to San Francisco in prime condition. But, although tho fish sold at good prices, the voyage, from somccauso was said not to have been a profitable one, and the business was abandoned. Sinco the Emily Stevens' timo no other vessel has been engaged in fishing on tho banks of Cape Flattery except occasional ly for pastime. A tug boat will run off and take a few halibut and rock fish. At the present time the whole business of tho halibut fishing on tho American side of Fuca strait is confined to tho Makah Indians. The halibut is a staple article of food of these Indians, and takes tho places of the dried salmon of tho interior tribes. The season commences in June as soon as tho fur seal fishing is over, and con tinues at intervals till October, or as lao as the" weather will permit canoes to go to tho fishing grounds. The Makahis usually go to the banks in largo sized canoes at the commencement of the sea son, these are the regular whaling canoes and carry six Indians. As the season ad vances and tho weather becomes more settled, they go in smaller canoes, with two to three men in each. Their usual time of starting is very early in the morning at tho top of high water. They then run out with the ebb tide,- and on reaching the banks they fish till tho turn of tho tide, and as soon as tho current of tho flood rnns too strong they start for home, usually returning late in the after noon. Owing to tho strong current and tide rips at the entrance to Fuca strait, and the dangers attendant upon going to sea in an open canoe, this fishing can only be pursued at such times as the winds and tides are favorable. Conse quently tho amount of fish taken is not as large as might bo expected, nor as large as it would bo if vessels were em ployed capable of remaining on tho banks at anchor to ride out gales, or wait for a faTorable state of the tide. During the fishing period, which lasts, as before stated, from June to October, tho fisher men of the villages around Capo Flattery not only catch and cure enough halibut for tho consumption of the entire tribe, but they havo largo quantities of dried fish to sell to Indians of other tribes. As they cure this fish in tho sun and air without salt, they find no sale for it among tho white people. The ancient method adopted by these Indians for the capture of halibut, which is pretty generally adhered to at the pres ent time, is by lines made of tho giant kelp, ("nereocystis, ' Hooker,) and m by hooks of a peculiar shape, made of splints from hemlock knots split out from old decayed logs. These splints aro first whittled into the desired size, then steamed by being thrust into a piece of tho hollow kelp stem and covered np with hot ashes. They aro then bent into a shape somewhat resembling an ox-bow with a barb of bone fastened on with a thonc inado of wild cherry bark, or a sliver from a small cedar root. The kelp used is the nrst years growth, which has a slender stem, from five to fifteen fath oms long. This is cut during the latter part of the summer, after the plant at tains its crowth, by a very simple on- trivance by which tho Indian cuts off the stem close to the ground. The stems are then soaked a few days in a brook of fresh water till they become quite bleached and all the salt in them ex tracted. They aro then knotted togeth er, stretched and dried lor several days, care being taken to put them under cover at night. When they have been manipulated enough they are corded up and placed in tho smoky lodges where they become dry and brittle. When tho line is to bo used it is first soaked in salt water which makes it pliable, and renders it exceedingly strong. The older Indians prefer these kelp lines from a supersti tious belief that the halibut, thinking them only kelp stems, is not alarmed and will take the bait more readily than if cotton lines were used. They aro get ting over this mythical superstition, and the young men use cotton lines in pref erence: but they still prefer their wooden hooks to steel ones. When the canoes come in from tho day's work, tho halibut are thrown out on the beach when the squaws tako charge of them and split them into thin slices, which aro hung on frames or poles, and present the appsar anco of a laundry on a washing day. The size of the halibut, taken on rthe banks, during the summer months, is small; they are evidently young fish, weighing from 15 to 30 pounds each. These fish are fat and delicately flavored, and much superior to tho larger ones which are taken in the Strait of Fuca. Some of them weigh from 100 to 150 pounds. The largest one I have seen weiched 250 pounds. This was taken from tho banks near Smith island at the east ern end of Fuca strait. Further north, atom? the Alaskan coast, halibut of largo size abound; but thus far the fisheries for them have been exceedingly limited as the demand is but small. Salted hal ibut is not so good a fish as salted cod, but when it is freshened and slightly smoked, it is considered a delicacy, and it will undoubtedly become an articlo of commercial value to Washington terri tory, as smoked halbut is a great factor in the eastern fish markets, and immense quantities aro consumed by the people of tho interior towns and cities. As soon as a demand is created for these excel lent food fish and a market opened for them by the railroads, it will be found that the supply is unlimited. At present the only demand for halibut is confined to the summer markets of Portland, Ta coma. Seattle, and the few mining towns on the Sound. Of tho oxtent of the fishing "banks along tho coasts of Oregon and Wash ington territory, nqthing whatever is known. The only surveys that havelieen mado are those by captain Richards, It. N in H. M. ships Plumper and Hecate. between the years 1858 and 1SC4, and those surveys pertain only to the imme diate western coasts of Vancouver is land and the Queen Charlotte group, but while tho inner shores of these islands have been sufficiently well defined for commercial purposes, the outer coast, from tho Columbia river to Alaska, has never been intelligently explored. What little we do know leaves but small space for question that valuable fishing grounds exist in proximity to convenient points for permanent stations conneoted with them. The best plan that I could sucgest for making accurate examinations for ascer taining the best fishing grounds, is for congress to make a liberal increase to the appropriation for the United States fish comnnssiontp be expended in mak ing similar explorations, on our coast, to those which have produced such wonder ful results on the Atlantic coast, and ad ded millions to tho wealth of Eastern cities. Of tho amount of halibut taken by the Indians of Capo Flattory, I can only arrive at a very rough astimate. During tho summer of 1E89 I was sta tioned at Neah bay, and kept as accurate an account as I could of the season's catch; and my estimate for that sum mer's fishing of the Makah tribe, gave a result of 1,5SG,200 pounds of fresh hali but Tho halibut taken by tho Makahs are from the banks mentioned off the en trance to Fuca Strait and a few miles along tho shore eastward from Cape Flat tery. Further up the strait tho Clallam Indians take halibut on the banks off Clallam bay and Port Angeles, and the Italian fishermen of Victoria and Port Townsend take quantitiss for tho markets at these places. No regular statistical account has been kept at either place, but enough is known to prove that the trado in fresh halibut shipped in ice from Victoria to San Francisco and from Port Townsend to Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, is already a lucrativo business, and an evidence that tho supply is un limited. Tho objection with many to canned halibut is, that it is too dry.' But I have seen most excellent and luscious canned halibut, to which a largo spoonful of olive oil had been added to each can. I think if some of tho canneries at Astoria would try tho experiment of canning halibut, now that they can so readily oh tain a supply from off Cape Flattery, it will bo found a success. 1 will allude to this business more particularly in a fu ture paper.

One of the disadvantages under which business men and persons who use tho telephone labor is that whilo they may communicate with each other on matters of business, no record can be kept of transactions and many vexatious mis takes are thus made. An invention, a patent for which has just been applied for, is designed to do away with this dan ger from mistakes, and at the same time keep a.piramuent record of all mei3sges sent over the wires. Tho instrument is described by a writer in tho Pall Mall Gazelle as being about the size of the telephone now in use, with a glass pen suspended above a roll of paper, so ar ranged that when the telephone is in use tho pen makes certain phonographical signs, corresponding to tho words or conversation passing over tho wire, to appear upon tho paper. A similar nc i jn tuues place on tbo other end of tho wire, sothat the person sending and tho re ceiver can both see the message recorded on tho paper before them, and thus avoid all danger of mistakes. The transcrib ing of these phonographical signs would require a person versed in that system of sound signs or phonography, but Mr. W. E. Irish, of Sunderland, Eng., the in ventor, claims that this would result merely in the formation of a new system of phonography, and that the signs could bo learned very readily, Further details as to the working of this instrument and as to how the glass pen can be made to perform the service required of it will b'e necessary before giving an opinion as to its practical uses, but if tho invention performs all that the inventor claims itr will, in a short timo no business office will be without it.

Thero is the old Goliah. for instauco, a squat, flat sidewheeler, that churns along noisily and pours cataracts of water on the forward deck when tho paddle-wheels aro reversed. Tho Goliah was a tug boat in New York harbor forty years ago, and was among tho first steamers to round the Horn in the rush of 1S19. It plied up and down tho Sacramento river and around San Francisco, and at last came up here and my nautical informant says, 'You'd sink it fivo times over if yon tried to pile on its decks all tho silver dollars it has made for its different owner.J" - A much more venerable looking craft that lies at anchor hero is thn (nnniinn bark Augusta, and some proud citizens aro airaiu mat me rustyjvoattered 'Jtl ship mav sink and spoil the hTSborsomtt nignt. xuo -Augusta came from Mono lulu with a loftdof oocoanuts and trop ical stuff, intending to take back lum ber, but.it ran op the rocks off Cape Flattery, and tho three tug boats that pulled it off demanded 5,000 for the job. Tho ship and all its cargo was not worth that, and the owners refused to pay, so, libeled m fact and fancy, and derided by all who see it, the poof Auyxtsta is an chored hero indefinitely, and all Po'rt Townsend is tempted by the cocoanuts and coral, the sea shells and curios that have come from the cargo.

Where the sale of personal property is complete it has priority over a lovj- un dor execution, according to (ho decision of the supreme court of Michigan in tho case of Sandler vs. Bresuahan. Whero a fire insnranco policy contains a warranty that the property in question is occupied when in fact it is not, and the fact together with tho condition of the propert- is known to tho insurer at the timo of tho issuanco of the policy, the warranty is waived, according to tho de cision of tho supreme court of Iowa in tho case of Jordan vs. State Insurance Company.
